Answered by Simon Lightwood
In the context of the Spending Review 2025, published on 11 June 2025 there are no plans for any specific announcements in relation to the Greater Anglia rail network.
For the past five years changes to regulated rail fares have happened in March. Any future changes will be announced in due course.
Since 2019 the operator has introduced 191 brand new trains into traffic; this full fleet replacement has improved performance and transformed the passenger experience.
